Magellan Gold Corporation announced that the company is now beginning work to clean out and stabilize the main drift after successfully reopening the main portal and emergency access portal at the Center Star Gold Mine (Center Star) near Elk City, Idaho. The company has installed a large metal culvert to secure and stabilize the primary portal allowing for access to begin drift work. It has been 35 years since exploration or development work was last conducted in the Center Star Mine. The drift clean-out and stabilization program will allow for safe access to the historical working areas of the mine for workers and staff. As part of the initial development work the company also upgraded the main access road to the mine. Located near the Elk City mining district of Idaho, Center Star hosts high-grade gold mineralization that was discovered in the early 1900s, with periodic historic production and development work done under different ownership through the 1980s. Since acquiring the Center Star project in July 2020, Magellan acquired additional unpatented mining claims adding 320 acres of land to increase its holding to 620 acres of claims along the Center Star gold trend.
